Acer 15.6” Chromebook With Core i5 Processor Now Available

Just like clockwork, Acer has made an introduction of a spanking new version of its Acer Chromebook 15 notebook – where this new model will boast of a 15.6” display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, while it runs on an Intel Core i5-5200U Broadwell processor. Folks who are looking forward to it should be able to wrap their fingers around the Chromebook 15 this coming April with a $499.99 price point, although it must be said that the final sticker price might very well vary, depending on which region you happen to live in.

One ought to take note that the Acer Chromebook 15 happens to be one of the largest Chrome OS notebooks that are on the market at the moment, and with the latest Core i5 processor thrown into the mix, you can be sure that this is also going to be one of the most powerful, no two ways about it. There is another Chromebook which features a Core i5 Broadwell or faster processor, and that would be the spanking new Google Chromebook Pixel 2, which has double the price tag, of course.

Acer’s model will come with 4GB RAM, a 32GB solid state drive, a battery life of up to 8 hours, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, HDMI output, and an SD memory card slot. Any takers? It surely is far from being the most portable notebook at the moment though, but the price tag might just persuade some.
